The Interval

Between two thoughts there is an interval of no thought. That interval is the Self, the Atman. It is pure Awareness only. Jnana Vasishta A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately; another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment that you are freed from all thought, love or hate. Swami Sivananda The collapsing impulse, even though going to a state of no expression — nothingness, Atyanta-bhava — imparts its quality onto the gap. The gap is therefore the silent witness, which sees the previous impulse and the following impulse. It holds in silence the memory of both. The nature of the gap which holds the memory of both, the previous and the following impulses, is called Anyonyabhava. This is what maintains order in creation on the field of the unmanifest Atyanta-bhava. This is the secret of all transformations on the path of evolution. sanskrit quote of the day.com Spacetime entails a new concept of distance. Whereas distances are always positive in Eucli-dean spaces, the distance between any two events in spacetime — called an "interval" — may be real, zero, or even imaginary. Wikipedia
